Lisbon calling Amsterdam and Oslo

Country: The Netherlands

Performer: Edsilia Rombley

Song: On top of the world

Music by: Tjeerd Oosterhuis

Lyrics by: Tjeerd Oosterhuis, Martin Gijzemijter, Maarten ten Hove

Review: Desperate attempt from The Netherlands to show some interess on Eurovision. Rumour say that Edsilia was the cheaper solution to represent the country after the Idols winner made too many demands...
The song is ok, not to say bad, I can't see anything special about it.

Next!

Country: Norway

Performer: Guri Schanke

Song: Ven a bailar conmigo

Music by: Thomas G:son
Lyrics by: Thomas G:son

Review: Another song from the new king of Eurovision Schlager, Ven a bailar conmigo is a mix of "Dancing with the Stars" and Ricky Martin.

Guri is a very strong performance and gives the song all she has on stage, viewers will have a nice "latino" party with this song/ performance.

It sounds a bit fake because it comes from a Nordic country that isn't exactly latino... But I wanna wasn't from a Latino country either and it won so this might not be such a disadvantage after all...
